You want to walk

or ride, lady?

I never walk when

I can ride, and when I ride,

it won't be with you.

You're coming with me.

You're not taking

this lady anywhere.

Here's the man

you want.

Huh?

And we found the Indian

over him with this knife.

We tried to make him talk.

You killed Colton.

It's a lie.

Colton shot himself.

We'll let the courts decide that.

He man that tried

kill horse too.

Why, you double-crossin'...

I didn't know

it was your horse.

I needed money.

She paid me to do that.

Why, that's preposterous.

The man's lying.

You are lying.

You also paid me to come

here from Buenos Aires and

help you to disgrace her.

The man's insane.

I believe him.

He ain't got brains

enough to fgure

this thing out himself.

I won't be insulted by you.

Don't lose your temper,

or I'll help you fnd it.

You fgured a swell way

to drive yourself out

of this town.

Now, let the law take its course.

Let's go.

I used to put my heart

and soul in my dancin'

To keep the wolf from the door

But now I'm a lady

Don't have to dance anymore

I'd fiirt with handsome men

and ask them no questions

I met the best and the worst

But now I'm a lady

I see their pedigrees frst

Let me say there is

many a boyfriend

That knew me when

But today they're

the guys in the army

Of my forgotten men

Oh, I used to play around

without any conscience

I just broke hearts left and right

But now I'm a lady

I plan to be more polite

Who is it?

Don't be alarmed, milady.

It's only your husband,

the Earl of Stratton.

just a minute, dear.

But, my dear,

we'll have to hurry,

or we'll miss the boat.

Take it easy, honey.

You'll last longer.

Hi-dee-ho, baby

I'm goin' places

I've made my plan

Hi-dee-ho

Love is dealin' me aces

I've got my man

Now step by step

I hit the top of the ladder

It was a dangerous climb

But now I'm a lady

Come up

and see me sometime

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
